38 PHYTOPHAGA. 
face armed between the antenne with a minute tooth. Antenne nearly three fourths 
the length of the body, slender, filiform ; joints cylindrical, basal one short, moniliform, 
second to the fifth nearly equal in length, each about twice as long as the first ; four upper 
joints obtuse, rufo-piceous, the three lower ones (in some specimens) obscure piceous. 
Thorax scarcely longer than broad; sides straight and parallel from the base to just 
behind the middle, thence obliquely converging to the apex, the anterior angle armed 
with a short obtuse tooth ; upper surface closely covered with large irregular foveolate 
punctures, the space immediately behind the apical margin impunctate ; a narrow vitta 
on the medial disc, together with a few of the punctures on the extreme lateral margin, 
nigro-piceous; on the vitta is a very narrow and slightly raised longitudinal line. 
Elytra elongate, parallel; sides very slightly sinuate and constricted in the middle; 
apex obtusely rounded, the hinder angle armed with a short, acute, flattened spine, the 
apex of which looks directly backwards; upper surface convex on the sides and apex, 
flattened along the suture ; humeral callus produced laterally, its apex extending slightly 
beyond the lateral margin, acute; each elytron with ten, at the extreme base with 
eleven, regular rows of large deep punctures, which cover nearly the whole surface 3. 
fourth interspace obsoletely costate; a narrow vitta, extending from the apex of the 
humeral callus nearly to the middle of each elytron, less distinct and sometimes entirely 
obsolete posteriorly, together with the spine at the hinder angle, nigro-piceous, tinged 
with violaceous. In some specimens this colour is confined to the spine itself, in others. 
it extends inwards for a short distance across the disc. 
Several examples were captured by Mr. Champion in the forest region of the low country.
